Products from abroad- Have your say

[Carn]

Hey Mike,

I think there a few 'niche' products that are available overseas that aren't sold here, but I think you need to ask yourself what you wish to achieve by marketing these items here. Unless you are bringing in large enough quantities to help absorb the expensive shipping charges out here, I don't think it is a very lucrative market to be in at the moment. For one detailing as such is a relatively new concept here in SA with most everyday consumers being content with the 'premium' brands such as Meguiars (and soon Sonax) that are available in the large chain stores. As far as the more 'professional' detailers within the community I think they all have their firm favourites already and/or would look at bringing them in directly. That being said however, if you were prepared to carry stock, the pricing was competitive and you had a nice selection of popular but locally unavailable goods you might get somewhere.

A difficult one for sure and I wish you all the best with it
